Pot-Limit Omaha

A wild round of preflop action built a huge pot that has defending champion "The Tournamen-ator" Dan Cates on the verge of destruction.

Action opened with a raise to 6,000 by Chris Brewer in middle position, followed by a call by Daniel Alaei in the cutoff, and a call by Obst on the button.

Cates then raised to 31,000 in the small blind which was called by Brewer and Alaei before Obst then potted it to 186,000.

Cates made the call, Brewer folded, saving the majority of his stack, and Alaei folded as well.

Cates and Obst then saw a flop of 3?5?3? and after a check by Cates, Obst bet the pot, which would put Cates all in if he called, holding just under 200,000 chips behind.

Cates opted to fold, sending the huge pot to Obst, then shortly after, Cates also lost small pots to Daniel Weinman and Cary Katz to further shrink his stack.
